I am a Junior at Pope John Paul II Catholic High School in Slidell. I am a member of the varsity football team and baseball teams, as well as a member of the National Honor Society. I am honored to be selected to represent my high school in the Student of the Year Campaign and look forward to leading my team, “Jags Hunt For A Cure”, to raising $50,000 for local patients battling blood cancer. I believe no one, especially an innocent child, should have to battle the life changing affects of cancer.

 

    I am honored to participate as a student of the year candidate for the 2020 Students of the Year program, a seven-week initiative in which select high school students from around the country participate in a fundraising competition to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I am proud to be selected as a candidate and am raising critical dollars in honor of a young patient, Rylie Richards,  who is currently in remission from Leukemia. Each dollar is a vote. The candidate team that raises the most money at the end of the seven weeks is named Student of the Year. Our mission is to not only raise the most money but also to bring attention to blood cancers like leukemia, which is the most common form of cancer in children and teens.
